The colon (large intestine) is a distal part of the gastrointestinal tract, extending from the cecum to the anal canal. It receives digested food from the small intestine, from which it absorbs water and ions to form faeces. Anatomically, the colon can be divided into four parts â ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid. These sections form an arch, which encircles the small intestine.
The small intestine is a long, highly convoluted tube in the digestive system that absorbs about 90% of the nutrients from the food we eat.It is given the name âsmall intestineâ because it is only 1 inch in diameter, making it less than half the diameter of the large intestine. It measures around 3 feet in length. 2  The ileum is the final section of the small intestine that empties into the large intestine via the ileocecal sphincter. 3  The ileum is about 6 feet long and completes the absorption of nutrients that were missed in the jejunum.
